Some protesters feel speed cameras are solely a revenue-generating measure which takes money from the poor.

The BBC's Hugh Schofield, in Paris, said evidence of the vandalism is visible to anyone driving around France, with radar cameras covered in paint or black tape to stop them working.

But the extent of the damage - now believed to affect more than half of all 3,200 speed cameras in the country's network - was unknown until Mr Castaner's statement on Thursday.

He said the devices had been "neutralised, attacked, or destroyed" by members of the protest movement.Speed limits in France were already controversial after the government lowered the limit on many main roads from 90km/h to 80 (50mph) early last year.

Protesters angry about the increase in fuel taxes complained of the rising costs of a commute for those priced out of living in urban centres - and turned their ire on other costs such as toll roads and speed cameras

Yeah yeah kikenvermin glownigger, we get it. you want to export your psyop that turned whites in France into ravenous niggers who will be the excuse to bring in the EU army; and spread this bs movement to all western nations to initiate the final crackdown and destruction of whites.

They haven't even touched the road, and everyone knows these things aren't to increase road safety, they're there to increase revenue. That's why they aren't usually built in the most high-traffic areas, but in areas where it's easy to get slightly too fast (on-ramps to the highway, downhill…)

This is my fetish. I've been destroying these cameras for a little while now, sometimes they're just hard to kill. I snuck up on one and killed it without incident, just a lot of hiding from traffic and booking it in retreat after finishing the mission. Another one was similar, but when I cut the wire, it blew up in my face like a flashbang. I kept trying to cut, but I couldn't see that my bolt cutters lost their teeth. I retreated after that because of the explosion, and looking back it was still flashing. Make sure to cut all the wires, guys

Fuck off moshe. Let them bring in the pansy EU military. That way full revolt can happen. I say French anons should destroy anything govnerment related, including traffic lights. Break it all down and force their hand.

Only things that are an affront to the people should be destoyed. Things that are useful like traffic light, stop signs, stuff that stops people from wrecking their car should be left. Go ham on speed limit sign no/pay2park signs, cameras, jewish shit like that. Make sure to put spikes under cop car tires too if you can sneak up on an unoccupied one

Yeah you’re right. No point in falling on your own sword when that time can be better spent. I heard they wanted to start targeting banks. Which is a great idea. They should just strong arm rob them than burn them down. It’s not like the police can stop a big enough mob. And think of the pay out? Not to mention the currency instability it will create if enough banks are hit. The elite will take a huge hit.

Might I suggest using a high powered laser to burn out the lens. The wires are not so expensive to replace. The camera lens on the otherhand is.

Alternatively, if you could make a small hole in the box and pour in a mixture of 50/50 gasoline and motor oil, then light it (safely), the damage done to the internal components would be immense and they'd have to buy all new equipment.

Make it expensive to rule us.

God speed, anon. You are a hero and I mean that. You are braver than almost everyone else on earth who merely thinks of doing these things.

Hypothetically-_- one could approach an electric substation during a storm or at night armed with a sixpack of your prepared Molotov cocktails and if you have a good arm, begin hurling them into at the transformers. Alternatively, you could construct a contraption to launch them much further. Wearing gloves of course. Like a wooden "crossbow" that employs those rubber water balloon launchers that you can buy at most stores. That way you might be able to launch them up to 300- 400 feet.

Aim at the transformers. They are among the most vulnerable and expensive pieces of equipment.

These speed cameras are actually a good candidate for thermite. They're outside and isolated, so won't burn down other stuff by mistake. But you'll totally fuck what's inside the box. Just be safe and use a long enough fuse, so you can gtfo.

They're delecate but not that delecate. A couple men unloaded some kalashnikovs into a substation in California and failed to cause any fires.

As for collecting the oil, please never ever take evidence of your patriotic acts home with you. It's not only that you'd be spending too long at the scene of your patriotic acts. But if the ZOGbots ever came to suspect you, you do not want a direct link to your patriotism sitting in your car as evidence against you.

(destroying "government property is an act of patriotism, not a crime because the government are criminals)

this is beginning to look more and more like an insurgency, slow escalation, sabotage etc. sabotage more than anything grinds down your adversary because it is costly and destroys morale. i suspect the next step will be other control infrastructure ie cctv and wireless infrastructure. it's a game of chess with each side trying to provoke the other into violence.

I'd love to see what happens if mobile phone service in France is completely knocked out. People in 1989 got by just fine without having internet access, texting, and phone service in their pockets at all times. I'm not sure if modern society could even function without those things because every system has become dependent on those services and the speed they enable.

They are for mailing you a ticket if you are even slightly over the speed limit, which they then gradually decrease over time. You know, for your "safety". And the ticket prices keep going up, for your "safety".

these would probably work, and I already wear GI jungle boots from the Nam which are rubber on the bottom. Just don't expect them to cut anything tougher than copper and rubber, because those probably won't even cut a cyclone fence

>After an outreach by Matteo Salvini, the communist leader of the yellow vests Eric Drouet rejected any association and accused him of being the next Mussolini; his movement, said Drouet, will not fall in the traps of the far right.

The yellow vests have zero qualms with immigration and ethnic replacement. They are boomers who want more gibs, it's all. Or at least it's what you get with Drouet on top.

I've been meaning to build one of those dvd burner laser/flashlight combos – for purely educational and informational reasons, of coursh, but I'm worried about catching a reflective surface and burning a hole in my retina; anyone know what kind of protective eyewear I would need and where to purchase?

If you want a more discrete method, Gordan Ramsay said on Top Gear he used food plastic wrap to wrap around the speed cameras. He did it in a way where it's unnoticable, unless you look at it up close. So maybe food plastic wrap and scotch tape?

If people lost the means of easy communication and easy access to information, that would benefit those in power, not us. Censorship is so rife these days specifically because that ease of access to information hurts them.

Something I've experienced is some motorists tend to slow waaaay down as they pass by cameras, which, if you're not watching for it, means you may wind up rear-ending them.

There is also the phenomenon where people look at the cameras for the telltale flash to see if they're going to get a ticket, which also leads to accidents.

Now, this may not as serious a problem on surface streets -- a simple fender-bender here and there, but, those assholes at city hall decided to have them installed on the highway through town, which anyone who's ever suddenly come up on a car suddenly doing 10+ under the limit will understand is a very serious situation.

On that: it would be nice to have an efficient means by which to take out overhead cameras (these ones are mounted on the scaffolding of overhead signs).

On that note: it surprises that there hasn't been one single attempt to disable our local traffic cameras in all the years it's been since they were installed – even with something as simple to use as a paintball gun.

I'm wondering if it happens and gets quietly cleaned up with no mention in the media in order to discourage copycats, or, has the citizenry simply resigned itself to yet another undue burden?

Come to think of it, I've lived in several towns with them, and it's been the same with every one.

There used to be somebody in the UK called some name like "Mr GATSO" who did the same. Though TBH that was probably a fake name like Captain Ludd, alleged "leader" of the Luddites, who were really a bunch of disconnected minor vandals and saboteurs.

Anyway thermite would probably do a number on a speed camera if anybody was crazy enough to put a package of it on top and light it. Also if some evil criminal was to "necklace" one with several tyres it would at least cover the detectors and lenses in soot, but unfortunately also cause some internal damage from the heat. Let's hope no horrible criminals try such things.
